Amos 8
1 Tako mi je pokazal Gospod Bog in glej, košara poletnega sadja.
Thus has Lord YHWH showed me, and behold, a basket of summer-fruit.
2 Rekel je: »Amos, kaj vidiš?« Rekel sem: »Košaro poletnega sadja.« Potem mi je Gospod rekel: »Konec je prišel nad moje ljudstvo Izrael; ne bom ponovno šel mimo njih.
And He says, “What are you seeing, Amos?” And I say, “A basket of summer-fruit.” And YHWH says to me: “The end has come to My people Israel, I no longer pass over to it anymore.
3 Tempeljske pesmi bodo vpitje na ta dan, « govori Gospod Bog. »Na vsakem kraju bo mnogo trupel; metali jih bodo v tišini.
And female singers have howled of a palace in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “Many [are] the carcasses, into any place throw—hush!”
4 Poslušajte to, oh vi, ki pogoltnete pomoči potrebnega, celo da revnemu v deželi storite, da propade,
Hear this, you who are swallowing up the needy, To cause the poor of the land to cease,
5 rekoč: ›Kdaj bo minil mlaj, da bomo lahko prodajali žito? In šabat, da bomo lahko odpremili pšenico, naredili škaf majhen in šekel velik in s prevaro izkrivili tehtnice?
Saying, “When does the new moon pass, And we sell ground grain? And the Sabbath, and we open out pure grain? To make little the ephah, And to make great the shekel, And to use balances of deceit perversely.
6 Da lahko ubogega kupimo za srebro in pomoči potrebnega za par čevljev, da, in prodamo pleve od pšenice?‹«
To purchase the poor with money, And the needy for a pair of sandals, Indeed, the refuse of the pure grain we sell.”
7 Gospod je prisegel pri Jakobovi odličnosti: »Zagotovo ne bom nikoli pozabil nobenega izmed njihovih del.
YHWH has sworn by the excellence of Jacob: “I do not forget any of their works forever.
8 Mar ne bo zemlja zaradi tega trepetala in vsak človek žaloval, ki prebiva na njej? Vstala bo v celoti kakor poplava, vržena bo ven in potopljena, kakor z egiptovsko poplavo.
Does the land not tremble for this, And every dweller in it has mourned? And all of it has come up as a flood. And it has been cast out, and has sunk, Like the flood of Egypt.
9 Na tisti dan se bo zgodilo, « govori Gospod Bog, »da bom soncu povzročil, da zaide opoldan in na jasen dan bom zatemnil zemljo.
And it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “I have caused the sun to go in at noon, And caused darkness on the land in a day of light,
10 Vaše praznike bom obrnil v žalovanje in vse vaše pesmi v žalostinko in privedel bom vrečevino na vsa ledja in plešavost na vsako glavo in naredil jo bom kakor žalovanje za edinim sinom in njen konec kakor grenek dan.
And have turned your festivals to mourning, And all your songs to lamentation, And caused sackcloth to come up on all loins, And on every head—baldness, And made it as a mourning of an only one, And its latter end as a day of bitterness.
11 Glejte, pridejo dnevi, « govori Gospod Bog, »da bom v deželo poslal lakoto, ne lakote po kruhu niti žeje po vodi, temveč [lakoto] po poslušanju Gospodovih besed.
Behold, days are coming,” A declaration of Lord YHWH, “And I have sent a famine into the land, Not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, But of hearing the words of YHWH.
12 Tavali bodo od morja do morja in od severa, celo do vzhoda, tekali bodo sem ter tja, da iščejo besedo od Gospoda, pa je ne bodo našli.
And they have wandered from sea to sea, And from north even to east, They go to and fro to seek the word of YHWH, And they do not find [it].
13 Na tisti dan bodo lepe device in mladeniči slabeli zaradi žeje.
In that day the beautiful virgins, And the young men, faint with thirst.
14 Tisti, ki prisegajo pri grehu Samarije in pravijo: ›Tvoj bog, oh Dan, živi; ‹ in: ›Način Beeršébe živi; ‹ celo padli bodo in nikoli več ne bodo ponovno vstali.«
Those swearing by the guilt of Samaria, And who have said, Your god lives, O Dan, And, The way of Beer-Sheba lives, Indeed, they have fallen and do not rise again!”
